the will graham catch 22 that malcolm faces, wherein his desire to be better at catching killers means he must constantly think of killers and take advantage of the killer in his own back pocket--his father. but by virtue of talking to martin so often about death and and murder, he's exposed a) to martin's rationalizations about violence and b) bonding with martin by brainstorming ways and reasons to kill, as well as c) indulging martin by giving him attention, as his beloved son, for all his insight and experience in being a serial killer. in other words, malcolm must continuously mentally and emotionally self-harm if he wants to be better at his job. :(
